Allen-Bradley 1783-HMS4C4CGN A Ethernet Managed Switch

The Allen-Bradley 1783-HMS4C4CGN A Stratix 5400 8-Port Ethernet Managed Switch is an industrial-grade network device designed to bring managed Ethernet connectivity to harsh factory environments, providing predictable switching performance for automation networks. It packs eight copper ports—four Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and four Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps)—in a compact, rugged package that can connect a mix of legacy PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and modern controllers, while simplifying network topology through centralized management. This model is non-PoE and accepts a 12–54 V DC power input, aligning with typical industrial electrical distributions and avoiding the need for PoE power budgeting in line equipment. As part of the Stratix 5400 family, it provides the level of management expected from an industrial switch—consistent link monitoring, port configuration, diagnostic visibility, and scalable performance designed to support deterministic operations in manufacturing lines and automated processes.
